Julie. I love that you are a nurse. Me too. It sounds like you may have more cat experience than my vet. We are struggling with constipation over here. I am making progress. BM on the 12th accompanied by significant not happy sounds. As much as he usually loves his privacy he quit crying when I came over. BM today no crying so it's softer now I just need to get it back closer together. I stopped free feeding kibble. I'm home most of the time so frequent quality canned pate meals and seconds if necessary until we figure it all out. Petsmart sells pumpkin pouches and toppers that hopefully will keep him eating and not hurting through July 11th. As well as help wity my refrigeration issue. I'm hoping more spacious peaceful surroundings will reverse all this. I'm starting him in my new bedroom as Basecamp and he can wander from their to his hearts content. Thanks for "listening" Tails and I appreciate it. 😸
Increasing hydration can also really help. My boys love their water fountain and drink more if it's running. I also add water to their wet food to I crease their intake, especially in the warmer months. I'm no vet, so take all of that with a grain of salt knowing that I don't know your cats specific situation ❤️
It sounds like you're doing all the right things! I hope new surroundings will be the last little boost he needs. Cats are so susceptible to stress. Good luck! 🥰
Yeah and we have been living an 8 - 10 on the stress scale since April. He has handled it like a trouper. Im actually so proud of him. A few calming treats help. He was born here but he's only 3 yrs old and he's been with me the last 2. I'm hoping he will just continue to roll with the flow.
Thank you do much. I am old and on fixed income so I can't go beyond the pay wallet on substack. It is a great gift to keep your content accessible.
Every day I look for your posts. I only have one cat at this point. She is a bit special needs. As I am old but can't live without a cat companion, I think I will try to foster if something unexpected happens to Kiki.
Thank you so much for your comment. This is exactly why I wanted to do this realignment. I'm so glad you're here with us and all the toe beans. Thank you for being part of this whiskered community 😻

Cats can adjust really well, it just takes them longer ❤️
